ShopRite of Union, NJ – Highway 22

My wife and I go here for large grocery purchases. Always pretty clean, busy but not packed like sardines. Pretty good place.

Awesome Awesome Awesome. I love shopping at this Shoprite. Updated clean and the store clerks are very professional. One of my favorite places to shop. I am never disappointed when I shop at this location. I highly recommend this store to anyone.

What is wrong with the people that work here? Most of them are very rude. I’ll go out of my way to shop in Clark next time. Absolutely the worst shop rite I have ever been.

My favorite shop rite! I was wowed as soon as I waked in! So many options and everything is stocked and cleaned by the minute! Everyone I came across were friendly and willing to help. Keep up the good work!!!

I absolutely LOVE this Shoprite (Union), it is a welcomed change from the Shoprite (Hillside) that I have to go to when I need something quick and don’t want to take the 15 min ride to Union. The Union store is ALWAYS full stocked, always clean and the cashiers are not to bad, some are even quite lovely, unlike the stink attitudes that are always ringing up in Hillside. The one in Hillside never have the things that I am looking for and they always seems to be low in meat but I never have to worry about that in Union. I LOVE the Union Rt 22 Shoprite!

This Shop Rite is huge and I love it. It is always so busy so I started to do Shop From Home. They were very quick and very useful. I must say that the manager was the nicest guy. They got exactly what I want and this is a very great way to get my groceries.

I’m a fan of this Shop Rite. Super clean and organized. Was really impressed how the Deli Counter had flat screen TV’s with the prices which made it easier to decide on what to get.
LOVED IT

I really like this store. It’s clean and the workers are nice. The thing that gets me annoyed is that 3 out of 4 times they will advertise things then it will not be in the store. It is also very unorganized.

Definitely the best Shoprite in any Shoprite I’ve ever been. This place is been open for almost 2 years now, but the good thing is this place is well maintain in terms of cleanliness, always clean and organized. This Shoprite has tons of security including cops, so you don’t have to worry in terms of security measure. Staff working in the cashier are friendly but not all of them. Sometimes I’m trying to avoid to express check out because most of the time instead of making faster everything they always talking about their personal life. I guest each station is very closed to each other thats why they have so many time to be busy talking than taking care of all the clients. The 2 guys night cashier are very friendly and nice.
I still rate this place 4 stars because everything here is good except from lazy cashier that working in the express check out.

I really like this Shoprite. The opening to the store is nice and spacious and I love the separate entrance and exit to cut down bunching up of people trying to come and go. This store is nice and bright and just has the gleam of a new store. Whenever I’m in the area I try to come here, they even carry a couple things that the Shoprite near me doesn’t really have. The lines move fairly quickly here, the express checkout isn’t as big as my regular Shoprite, but it moves and the cashiers. Because this Shoprite shares same lot as many other stores in the vicinity there is tons of parking, even if you have to walk a bit, which I usually opt to do. My mom also loves the Seafood salad here and practically begs Rose, the apparent master of seafood salad to make some for her if they run out of it in cold food section. This Shoprite is a welcome addition to this area and is a big upgrade from it’s former location on Morris Ave.

This is my new «go to» place for all my shopping needs. Their grass-​fed beef is awesome and decently priced. They have great prices, including on their organic produce. I’ve found stuff here I couldn’t even find at health food stores!
I’ve gone here several times already, both alone and with my husband and everyone who works here and shops here is very nice and helpful.
I mention nice customers because like attracts like. Interesting, this is a place with nice customers and you can count on the fact that you won’t get pushed or shoved like you do at the Shop Rites in Garwood and Clark.

This branch is definitely one of the best looking supermarkets I’ve been to – it reminds me of Trader Joe’s or WholeFoods in some areas of the store. When you walk in, you’ll be facing the produce and sushi/​hot food section. Walk to the left and you’ll reach the rest of the aisles. The meat section is near the back and frozen goods on the far right.
Finding what you’re looking for is pretty easy since everything is well organized – aisles are a bit tight, though. I constantly saw employees organizing the shelves and returning misplaced items. The employees here are friendly considering how busy it gets.
The produce section isn’t that great. If you live in the area and only need common vegetables, then this ShopRite is definitely convenient. However, don’t expect much of a unique variety. As for the meat section, there are a number of good cuts to choose from, including sausages, but I still think the branch at West Orange has more. Most of the major brands for the different products are here, so you should be able to find most of the groceries you need. The hot food section has a separate but small dining area: From BBQ to sushi to sandwiches and coffee, you can sit down and grab a quick bite.
The location blows, though. I’m not fond of US-​22E for a variety of reasons that I’m sure you could figure out. Since the ShopRite is in a plaza, there is plenty of parking. It gets pretty filled, even after lunch. However, I don’t see myself shopping here much unless I’m in the area. The inside is way too busy and crowded for me.

This is my Shoprite, it’s new and fancy! If you ever had the pleasure of shopping at the old Shoprite on Morris Ave. this place is a sigh of relief.
I’m kind of a go everywhere food shopper, why limit yourself to just one store, especially if there is a smaller family owned market with better or different offerings. This place has a pretty impressive prepared food section that includes fresh salads, cooked foods, a sandwich station, a sushi bar and a BBQ section. If you come around lunchtime it’s very busy.
The produce section is OK, nothing spectacular, I don’t usually buy produce from here.
The deli counter is small, it focuses on meats and cheeses, I guess if you wanted some pre made potato or macaroni salad you would get it from the prepared food area.
The seafood counter is right next to the deli counter, again I’ve never bought fish from a grocery store, I personally prefer Asian Markets or Seabra’s for fish. The displays look well kept.
The rest of the store is big and well stocked and clean. They always have a lot of cash registers open and the staff is always friendly. They are not open 24 hours, but I think they are open until midnight.
The only problem that you may face is traffic on Rt 22, you can come around the back way coming up Morris and Rahway Ave.

We shop here 3 to four times per month. The only problem we encounter is on our way here with route 22 traffic. After the traffic situation is over we usually have a nice time walking around and over spend because of the deals.

I walked in and my jaw dropped. This Shoprite is amazingggg! It looks like a Wegmans, and if you know Wegmans, you know that’s a huge compliment!
There is a hot, cold, and Mediterranean foods bar. Plus, a sushi and sub/​deli made to order stations! Plusss, a buy in bulk section for nuts, dried fruit, granola, etc! They also serve Lavazza coffee! It’s by the customer service area. You just buy a cup from the customer service area, and you fill up your coffee! Creamer, milk, and sugar are on the counter!
The whole store is so spacious and clean. I didn’t see one item on the floor, and there are always people stocking more products! They have flyer items at the entrance, on the ends of aisles, as well as the original shelf spot. You won’t miss any good deals!
What makes them earn that extra star for «Woohoo! As good as it gets!» is the staff. The staff from the sushi station to the staff at the coffee station to the cashiers were all so so so sooo friendly and helpful! I wish this Shoprite was my local grocery store. Unfortunately, I only stumbled in here after going to Best Buy for Black Friday. :(I will, however, venture out here again for a Summer Roll sometime soon. :) I

The absolute best ShopRite I’ve ever been to! I actually used to shop here when it was pathmark, but this ShopRite is off no comparison. It’s super clean, nicely organized, and the people are super friendly. If you are ever going to love a supermarket, this will be the one.

A very fancy supermarket, for a not so fancy area.
This is one of those upgraded Shoprites that have been popping up across the state. It’s beautiful inside, big, clean, everything organized well, with giant signage painted on the walls (see pics). Hot and cold food buffet stations, made to order deli, subs and sandwiches, grab and go ready made food and drinks section, celebration (bakery) station, fish market, farmers section (produce), butcher for custom meats, a smokehouse, flowers section, pharmacy, it goes on and on. Everything you need is right here.
Prices are on par with other Shoprites, which means they are priced well for the budget conscious. The customer base is diverse and they keep coming back, so you know they are treated with respect here. The store hours are really good as they close at 11 PM every day including Saturday and Sunday. The parking lot gets a little crazy at peak hours but nothing out of the ordinary. There are a ton of checkout lines and they are well staffed, so your wait is reasonable. Overall, a very solid Shoprite and an enjoyable experience.

Although I think shoprite can be overpriced for no reason, I do enjoy a good sale here! I like this location. Always fully stocked and plenty of options for what i want and need. The hot and cold food bars are tempting! It will get you every time if you walk in hungry.

This location used to be the old Pathmark, before being closed down and abandoned for years. Now this space was turned into a new, modernized ShopRite. This is also the main anchor of the Union Shopping Plaza. Entrances were located on both sides of the building — one by Payless Shoe Source, and the other by an empty lot which used to be a general liquor store. There wasn’t much I could say about the exterior of the unit, other than the fact that it looked clean.
When we walked inside, we ended up in a big «food-​to-​go» (known as the ShopRite Kitchen) area with the produce section on the right. I’ll explain more on that «food-​to-​go» area soon. The produce area looked quite organized, and above the area was the sign for produce surrounded by a brightly, colored painting. Some parts of the store had various, bright decorations, which was probably set up in a way to grab a patron’s attention to see where he or she was going. The ShopRite in Watchung didn’t have any of that! A lot of the aisles that we ventured through wasn’t messy and were quite well stocked. That’s a plus for this store. Surprisingly, they even carried my 2^nd favorite kind of root beer, which was Boylan’s (pure cane sugar!). I’ll have to keep that in mind if I ever come back again and notice that it’s on sale.
What really grabbed my attention when I walked in here was the ShopRite Kitchen. It was the first time that I saw a set up like this since I’ve never seen anything like that in the other ShopRites that I usually patronize. Aside from having the usual bakery (known as «Celebration Station» in this store) and deli sections, they also had different areas where patrons could grab food and eat it in a small, separate area where the tables and chairs were located. That seating area also had the different pots of Lavazza Coffee (which was good as always!) and the cool Coca Cola touchscreen Soda Fountain machine.
«Foodies Rejoice!» — So, what to grab and eat at the Kitchen? They had another bakery area (Patisserie 37) that served different kinds of pastries for snacking. They also had areas that served sushi (Scrunchi San), BBQ-​type entrees (Mr. Perry’s Smokehouse), and subs (Blueprint). But that wasn’t all. They had a fresh salad bar, and various hot food bars that featured various American, Italian, Asian, and Indian entrees. The way those bars were positioned made that section look like a «grab and go» buffet. Nice!
We went to grab a couple of sale items, including cereal and yogurt during our experience here. We didn’t have a hard time finding them. The staff at the registers had a decent attitude. I also noticed that they have computerized announcers, which is utilized to tell people when the next register is open during long lines. Interesting, and the other ShopRites that I went to in my area didn’t have that feature.
Overall, the store looked nice and clean. The prices were competitive, just like the other ShopRites that I experienced in my area. I didn’t have an issue finding a parking spot at all. I’ll definitely be back if I’m in the area again and need to buy more groceries.

This shop rite is located in Union Shopping Center on Route 22. It replaced the old PathMark and moved from the Morris Ave location. Plenty of parking and very handicap friendly. This location provides different kinds of carts and scooters for people with disabilities. When I first walked in, I was impressed. They have a bakery section, seafood section, and hot foods section. Everything look very well organized and things were easy to find. Check this place out if you have not already done so.
